STREET BY STREET BLOCK BY BLOCK
I LIKE BIG BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand…
I went home with a waitress…
How was I to know she was with the Russians too?
Still true today.
Warren’s stuff never gets old.
This is great but it’s also, at best, only fourth greatest opening lyric *on that record*.
In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey.
Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine
Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Well she was an American girl, raised on promises
I was born in a crossfire hurricane.
And I howled at my Ma in the driving rain.
The screen door slams. Mary's dress sways.
Teenage angst has paid off well
Now I'm bored and old
Self-appointed judges judge more than they have sold...
Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
I bomb atomically
Socrates philosophies and hypotheses can’t define how I be droppin these
I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side. Stayin’ alive was no jive.
I'm a streetwalking cheetah with a heart full of napalm
Mamaaaa, just killed a maaan
gunter glieben glauten globen
GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM
The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways. Like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays.
"Why does it hurt when I pee?"
Frank Zappa - Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?
He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year, coming home to a place he’d never been before
THE YOUTH IMMERSED IN POISON
TURN THE TIDE COUNTERATTACK
Humanity devours…itself alive
Well I used to be disgusted/Now I try to be amused
A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous
That's right, The Mascara Snake, fast and bulbous!
“I don't have to sell my soul
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me”
[Not to be the guy on The Price is Right who just bids $1 more than the last guy as @mistermeyer.bsky.social just offered Thunder Road’s opening] — In honor of last week being the 40th anniversary of its release: “Born down in a dead man’s town / The first kick I took was when I hit the ground…”
Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine
“What has happened down here is the wind have changed/Clouds roll in from the north and it start to rain”
